Jais Nielsen Interior Paintings

Danish, 1885-1961

Born in Denmark, Jais Nielsen initially studied at Kristian Zahrtmann’s art school and exhibited for the first time at the 1907 Autumn Salon in Copenhagen's Charlottenberg Palace. He participated in the ground-breaking The Group of Thirteen modernism show, where his focus on dynamic figural painting and his bold use of color set him dramatically apart from his contemporaries. From 1907–11, his use of 'primitive' Fauve colors reinforced his clear departure from traditional Danish painting. In 1911, Nielsen moved to Paris where he settled in the Latin Quarter near the Musée de Cluny. His first formal Paris exhibition was at the Salon d’Automne of 1912. During this first Paris period, from which the present work dates, Nielsen attended meetings of the Section d’Or at the studio of Jacques Villon and began to incorporate distinct, yet subtle, Cubist elements into his work. At the outbreak of World War One, Nielsen moved back to Copenhagen, taking his Parisian Modernist style with him. Sports, dance and circus life were the themes that interested him and he painted many canvases in the best tradition of the early Cubists, of which he became the earliest Danish exponent. Neilsen exhibited widely and with success and was the only Danish artist represented in the landmark Futurist exhibition, “Futurismo & Futurismi” in Venice, Italy in 1986. A retrospective of his work was also held at the Galerie 1900–2000 in 1986. Nielsen is recognized as a founding pioneer of Scandinavian modernism and his works are held in private and public collections worldwide including the permanent collections of the National Art Museum in Copenhagen and the National Museum in Oslo. He is well-listed in all art historical reference works including Thieme-Becker and in Benezit, which gives a signature sample.

Spanish Expressionist Female Nude Interior Figurative Oil Painting 1981 Artist: Jordi Arrué Medium: Oil on canvas Date: 1981 (inscribed on reverse) Signature: Signed lower right “Arrue” Dimensions: 33 × 41 cm (13 × 16.1 in) Framing: Unframed Condition: Good overall condition. Thick impasto surface well preserved consistent with the artist’s technique DESCRIPTION Expressive figurative composition by Spanish painter Jordi Arrué, dated 1981, depicting a reclining female nude within an intimate domestic interior. The painting is characterized by a richly textured impasto technique applied with broad brushstrokes and palette knife, particularly visible in the handling of the drapery and the construction of the figure. This material approach places the work within the Mediterranean figurative tradition developed in Spain during the 1970s and 1980s. The chromatic dialogue between the pastel tonalities of the body and the structured presence of the deep red cabinet creates a balanced composition with strong visual rhythm and painterly presence. Rather than academic realism, the artist builds the figure through layered color planes and tactile gesture, emphasizing the physicality of paint as a structural element of the image. Reclining interior nudes constitute one of the most recognizable subjects within Arrué’s figurative production of this period. Signed and dated on the reverse: 1981. ARTIST BIO Jordi Arrué is a Spanish painter active in Catalonia during the second half of the twentieth century, known for his figurative interiors and female nude compositions executed with a gestural and materially expressive brushwork. His work belongs to the Mediterranean figurative tradition that remained active in Spain during the 1970s and 1980s, where color structure and surface texture play a central role in the construction of the image. Today his paintings are appreciated within the context of late twentieth-century Spanish figurative painting and continue to circulate in European private collections and the secondary art market. ARTISTIC CONTEXT This work reflects connections with: Joaquín Sorolla Manuel Hernández...
